I don’t believe in “reparations” but I do believe in restitution.
Restitution is restoring to the rightful owner what has been lost or taken away. Reparation is restoring to its original condition something that has been damaged.
Quite frankly, BLM and similar activists don’t REALLY want reparation.
Less than 25% of whites ever owned slaves in America when it was legal. The average “black” American is about 25% white. I think it is a reasonable assumption that a greater percentage of “black” Americans are descendants of slave-owning whites than “white” Americans are on average.
And what compensation will be paid to the descendants of white abolitionists and those who fought to free slaves?
More importantly, who is going to make restitution for the trillions of dollars of loss and damage done to this nation by Democrats?
A large percentage of the descendants of slaves/slave-owners (i.e. blacks) are responsible for that.

My kin folk fought on the Union side during the civil war. Maybe I should expect some thank you money? LOL!
